...cast a critical eye on their Hamlet Evaluation System (H.E.S.), which was supposed to determine the relative extent of both the government and V.C. control. The system was found to be misleading. Districts were often shamelessly gerrymandered to create impressions of progress that had no relation to reality. A complex new scheme was devised that requires field advisers to answer no fewer than 149 multiple-choice questions; the replies are fed into a computer in Saigon, which digests them and then prints out alphabetical ratings...
...from the Top. Johnson's sculpture gallery, with its complex flows of space and rafter-striped light, is a far cry from his 1949 Glass House, but it may, in time, become as famous. Between them lies a career of almost indecent success, starting near the top: wealthy by inheritance, Johnson is now, at 64, one of the three or four best-known architects alive in America...

Even the Government finds itself suffering from the technological pollution. Shortly after the Internal Revenue Service opened a new computer complex in Louisiana, part of the brain's memory suddenly went blank. Puzzled IRS officials eventually learned why. The center had been built under a flight path to the New Orleans airport, and radar signals from the field had erased tax records that had been freshly stored on the computer...
Science has long recognized the role of nerve fibers in carrying messages from the brain to the muscles and organs of the body. But only recently has it begun to understand the complex mechanisms by which these messages are transmitted. Last week Stockholm's Royal Caroline Institute honored the work of three scientists whose research has laid the groundwork for that understanding. It awarded the 1970 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine to Professor Ulf von Euler of Sweden, Sir Bernard Katz of Great Britain and Dr. Julius Axelrod...
These real or potential dangers might seem to call for new SEC regulations. Yet the fourth market is only a small part of a complex question: What changes should be made in the markets to cope with the great rise in institutional trading? By year's end the SEC is due to publish a long awaited report on this touchy subject. If direct trading in stocks is to be put under controls, it makes sense to adopt them only as part of a large overhaul of SEC rules...
